JP301 (Comp Sync) and JP302 (DMPS feature) both are open. not enabled.
The other Jumper is JP401(Memory) 1-2=segmented. 2-3=1MB Linear. Open=2MB linear.

Which side is pin 1? I can't see any marks on the board...

I just have to say I love the electromechanical relays for passthrough mode on the Picasso II.  *CLICK!*

Ops... I have a simple Picasso II, not a + version...
Anyone knows which side is pin 1 on jumper JP401 of a Picasso II?

At a guess pin 1 of the jumper block will be the first pin. The screening of the JP401 label should run in the same direction that the jumper sequence runs. No guarantees!


BTW: On topic, my A4000 riser does seem to be stuffed. Both cards work fine in slot one.  You know how hard it is to get big cards in slot one...  Anyone got a spare riser for sale..?

I'm just curious if this kind of aggravation is prevelant in most rtg cards. I never had one but I thought about buying a used one. Are they hit or miss or do most work without these hassles?

Just curious. Lucikly, aga and winuae picasso modes are good enough for me...

Configuring RTG cards can definitely be a pain, but once it's all working it's pretty nice.

I think so... The board works well with jumper in position 1-2, but in position 2-3 runs with a dirty screen and can't be used.
What does it mean?
I remember that there was a problem with the ZorroII of Amiga 3000, video boards and accelerator boards with extra ram: do I remember well?
I have a CyberStorm MKII with 48 MB ram...

Is it possible to have 1024x768x26 bit non-interlace on Picasso II(+)? Picasso and EGS 28/24 Spectrum have the same chip and Spectrum can do it, why not Picasso?

To close this one off. It was my A4000 Riser.  New riser no problem.

Now to try and trace the problem with my old one.
